Hi, I have an Ubuntu workstation with Firefox always open on a (autorefreshing) web page protected by basic auth.
At startup, I have autologin and automatic Firefox start on the page and I have saved the basic auth credentials.
I'd like to confirm in some automated way the username/password dialog box which pops up on the first opening of the page, or I'd like to know if there's any hack to avoid this dialog box.
I tried setting the homepage to http://username%3Apassword@myserver/mypage put that doesn't stop confirmation dialog boxes.

I'm currently running Windows XP, but have ordered Windows 7. I want to keep Windows XP on a separate partition, and install Ubuntu as well.
In which order should I install the OSs, and is there anything differing from an ordinary single-system install I should keep in mind? For example, does the order of partition make any difference? If I want to have the system drive as "C:" drive in both Win XP and Win 7, what should I do?

I am trying to get my locally assigned IP address from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with ifconfig and what I'm getting is my external IP address (in other words, it's the same IP I see on whatismyip.com)

How do I get my local IP address ?

Hi all,

I have a small java project that handle connections.
In order to run it from the terminal I have to cd into the folder that contains the source and run the following command:
java -cp classes com.packagename.mainclass
Where classes is the folder that contains the classes.
I want ubuntu to run this application on startup, is there a Java command I can use? Or am I just better off creating a shell script?
Thanks!

I am using a BlueProton USB wireless network adapter and an Ubuntu 9.10 machine and the machine says that it is connected to the internet but it won't see other machines/devices on the local network and only a few websites work.
I created a partition on USB harddisk in windows and it reports to be an NTFS partition.
Yet in ubuntu 9.10 fdisk says it a FAT16 partition. If I mount with -t ntfs I see nothing, but if I mount without it I see all the files.
Can anyone tell me whats going on here?
Windows computer disk management definately says its NTFS, and a quick look at the raw data suggests it is NTFS, as I know the FAT16 very well.
I installed Ubuntu on my external hard drive but it won't boot on my laptop. It works fine on my desktop but not my laptop. It says it can't find root... what do i do?

my video card has two DVI sockets, but i only use single monitor configuration. Now, i think the main DVI socket might be busted, so i want to try to enable the other as the main one, however, i don't know how to achieve that. I tried just plugging the monitor in that socket but it won't just auto-detect (it would have been way too easy to just work)
